Descriptive memoir

Requirements:

The first paragraph should introduce us to the central impression and situation. This can be done by giving us a little background on the place and people and why they are memorable. Your thesis statement needs to emphasize what you want your audience to think or feel about the thing you are describing. It should be the last sentence of your introduction. 

The body needs to reinforce the central impression from the thesis statement by using words that help build on that impression and descriptions that further support your purpose. Use transitions in between paragraphs to emphasize spatial organization.

The last paragraph needs to include final conclusions about why the place, people or event is important, what you learned, why it has stayed with you.

You must use: 5 vocabulary words from the Writing Basics handout (bolded in the final draft), at least three similes or metaphors, a variety of sentence starts and appeal to at least three different senses.

Technical Details:

• The paper must be about 2-3 pages in length or 700-1,000 words.
• Use 12 point font, Times New Roman, double spaced, and MLA formatting
